1881 FSB was established in 1881. Together with a modest work-force, company founder Franz Schneider produced antique-style brass cabinet fi ttings.

1920s In the early 1920s, the fi rst door and window fi ttings appeared in the FSB production pro-gram. The design of these years echoed the modernism of the Bauhaus era. Silver metal com-ponents were combined with black composite features.

1950s Beginning with in-house designer Johannes Potente in the 1950s, FSB created the fi rst handles which exemplify minimalism, modernism and ergonomics. FSB is still known for the use of these design principles today. Four of Potente’s lever de-signs have been included in the permanent collection of the Mu-seum of Modern Art (MoMA).

1990s Inspired by an international design workshop held in Brakel in 1986, FSB began engaging the market with contemporary designs in an initiative dubbed “Tour d’Europe.” Throughout this initative FSB created design suites with such renouned designers as Philippe Starck, Jasper Morrison, Richard Rogers and many others. For the past two decades, FSB has continued to work with Archi-tects and Designers to create handles – each with their own personality.

2000s FSB introduced a limited range of levers supplied in complete locksets to the Amercian design community. The fi rst catalog was approximately 80 pages. Two later catalogs increased FSB’s North American offering to nearly 100 lever designs. In 2007, FSB expanded the North American distribution center, moving it to Madison, CT, where the majority of prod-ucts are stocked in natural anodized aluminum and satin stainless steel. Stock items can be shipped in 48 hours. All non-stock items can be shipped within two to eight weeks regard-less of the product type, fi nish or project size.

2008 FSB dramatically increased its product range for North Amer-ica, and issued an expanded catalog of more than 500 pages. This brochure gives an intro-duction to the breadth and style of our entire product offering, which can be found in our North American Manual.

Hinges FSB introduces a new line of hinges unique in their construc-tion, fi nish and performance. FSB stainless steel two-knuckle and three-knuckle hinges utilize carbon steel and oil-impregnated sintered bronze bearings to min-imize friction, thereby reducing wear and maintenance. FSB stainless steel hinges may be supplied to simulate nearly all of our standard fi nishes, and are supplied with low-profi le button-tip fi nials, giving the protruding hinge barrel an elegant, clean look.

Sliding Door Hardware Building owners are demanding more effi cient use of space. Consequently, architects and designers are utilizing many more sliding and pocket doors. In recognition of this trend FSB has developed an entire range of fl ush mounted trim for passage, privacy and entry applications. We demonstrate our penchant for divising aesthetically pleasing technical solutions by offering the mar-ket’s fi rst fl ush pulls with spring loaded covers, as pictured above. A complete overview of these products is provided in the “Sliding Door Hardware” section.

Bronze There is an increase in an “old meets new aesthetic” in which designers are combining tradi-tional fi nishes with more mini-mal and modern design. For years, FSB has offered ten of our best selling handles in solid brass, either polished or oxidized to give them varying degrees of antiquing to suit the designers’ needs. FSB now introduces Bronze as a new material for our lever handles and accessories. The special appeal of bronze is the patina that develops on its sur-face. In the course of daily use, polished bronze parts darken naturally, becoming more distin-guished with time. We have created a complete section titled “Brass and Bronze Products” to cover all the products we offer in these two exceptional base materials. We offer eight bronze handles and ten brass handles for projects that may benefi t from this “old meets new” aesthetic. All brass and bronze products can be oxidized to varying degrees of darkness, depending on “the mood” a designer would like to create.

Glass Door Hardware Creating more open spaces has become a cornerstone of modern architecture. Utilizing large pieces of glass, whether for windows, doors, or walls, facilitates this objective. FSB has broadened its glass door program to include locks and hinges for swinging glass doors as well as exposed rolling gears for sliding glass doors. These products can be found in the section “Door Pulls and Glass Door Hardware”.

9101 Series Information and Specifi cation Site/Situation

Serious consideration should be given to the type of door and frame being installed as well as the nature of the building and the door’s specifi c location. For example, very frequently used doors, in a hospital or school, tend to be put under more ardu-ous stresses than in residential applications. The table to the right shows some estimates of traffi c in certain building/locations.

All FSB two- and three-knuckle hinges are swaged and full mor-tise, for use with all door and frame materials. They are de-signed for use in high frequency situations, with other specifi c requirements guiding the appro-priate hinge choice.

Hinge Size

The size of hinge to be used is determined not only by the weight but also the door size, thickness and any clearances required.

It should be noted that if extra “clearance” is required to al-low the door to, for example, swing out and lay fl at around any decorative casing then this should be considered in guiding hinge choice.

Guidance on the suitability of individual hinges can be found on the following and product specifi c pages.

the hinges off the door frame.

Where, for example, the door leaf regularly engages on a door stop the use of two hinges low down should be considered.

For extra heavy doors or doors with a low height to width ratio (see below) the positions should be modifi ed to help account for the increased side loading* placed on the hinges.

*As the door has an eccentric centre of gravity a side loading force is placed on the hinges. This is the force trying to pull

Number of Hinges

Typically, three hinges are fi tted to each door. Hinge positions are determined by the weight of door, its situation and its con-struction/resistance to warping. The usual positioning is sym-metrical, see examples.

For a factor of two or greater, no allowance has to be made. When the factor is less than two, the door mass has to be increased by the value required to bring the factor to two ex-pressed as a percentage.

These percentages are shown in the Side Loading Calculations to the right.

Hinges for use with Doors of excess width

Wider doors increase the pres-sure and bending stresses exerted on the hinge. This must be allowed for by reduc-tion in the mass of the door leaf supported by the hinges. The factors by which the door mass has to be adjusted for excessive widths of door are calculated by dividing the door height by its width.
